Path of Absolute Transcendence

Kai did not care about the elder testing him using this sense. They won't be able to find anything suspicious about him unless he shows them. The heavenly dao is still covering for him, and it will continue until he becomes an emperor using this path.

'The heavenly dao helped me a lot.' thought Kai. Without the help of the heavenly Dao, he wouldn't be able to hide his transcendent foundation. A saint realm cultivator can directly see through him using his holy sense.

A divine sense is developed in the divine realm, and a holy sense is developed in the saint realm, they can be used for sensing the surroundings without the aid of eyes.

Soon, all the other participants arrived on the battlefield.

"Holy son, the guy over there with the weird hat is called Mike. He is the best after Aman and Leiyin in the entire sect. He had a possibility of winning in this round before, but I don't think he can win anymore." The elder analyzed the results.

"Is it because of that guy from before?" asked Yang Wudi.

"Yeah, he will win the battle without any trouble. I'm sure his potential must be above both Aman and Leiyin." Elder replied with his thoughts on Kai.

"Let's see. If he is that good, I should make him my subordinate." Yang Wudi said that he did not consider Kai a threat.

"The round three of battle royale starts." The grand elder announced the commencement of the battle royale.

'It's time to play with these guys.' thought Kai. He drew his sword from the scabbard and slashed at the guy in front of him.

The opponent in front of Kai is unprepared and gets slashed by his sword. The hands were severed by the sharpness of the sword.

*AAAHHHHH*

He screamed in agony, but Kai did not care about him and moved towards another opponent. He was fighting with another person, Kai interfered with their fight and slashed at both of them.

Both of them were caught off guard due to their focus on their battle, so both of their hands got severed. They both fell and fainted due to pain.

Like this, Kai fought the battle to his advantage. But soon, a lot of them noticed his presence and started gathering around him.

"Guys, let's eliminate him first. He is the guy who sneaks an attack on us. He will be trouble if we leave him alone." A guy from the group shouted as he pointed his hands towards Kai.

"Yeah, let's get rid of him. We don't need a coward like him in the sect, we should break his hands and legs to make him crippled for the rest of his life." Another disciple shouted angrily at Kai.

Kai, who heard their criticism, did not respond to any of them. He was ruthless as he severed their limbs, but he did not think anything was wrong with it. Lightly injuring a person has a chance of recovering, and he will continue the battle.

Kai did not want to waste time with these guys, so he directly made them incapacitated to avoid trouble.

More than a group of 50 disciples surrounded Kai, and everybody used their attacks on him. Kai watched calmly as the attacks neared him.

'It seems I have to show some of my strength in this battle.' thought Kai. He immediately used his phantom steps to dodge all the attacks and appeared behind the group like a ghost.

A very sharp aura appeared on his sword. Kai used his sword intent to finish this battle early.

"Guys dodge the attack, he is a sword master!" A guy with sensing talent immediately guessed the aura and shouted to remind the disciples.

"Your talent is good, but you are too late." Kai calmly replied to the guy.

"[Absolute] " a low voice echoed in the ears of the disciples.

He used this sword move for the first time in an official battle. It is the first technique of the [Freedom Scripture] and it is still in its rudimentary form.

After the echo of the voice ended, all the disciples who surrounded Kai had their limbs cut off. They fell to the ground without any balance.

The whole arena became silent after seeing this scene. The disciples in the field also dropped their weapons and watched everything quietly without any noise.

*YEAHHHHHHHHHH!*

Soon, the crowd started cheering for Kai in a crazed manner. The noise of their voice resounded throughout the entire sect. But at the same time, the remaining disciples in the field also give up due to despair.

"We forfeit this match," all the remaining participants in the field said to the grand elder.

The crowd started cheering for Kai in an even more enthusiastic voice. Kai did not care about any of them and calmly looked at the grand elder for the result of the match.

The grand elder came out of his astonishment and announced the result.

"The winner of this battle is Kai. He will move to the next qualifier match. The disciples with the number four token, get ready for your match."

The grand elder did not say anything about Kai's behavior since he did not kill anyone. The rules only prohibited him from killing anyone, but they did not say anything about injuring or crippling a person. So it is within the rules.

Kai calmly walked away from the field without any emotion on his face.

"He did not feel any guilt about crippling so many disciples, what a ruthless guy." A disciple from the crowd spoke aloud.

"Don't think that kindness will save you on the battlefield. His decision was correct." A girl who is a fan of Kai replied to him.

"Yeah, he is like a sword demon. From now on, he will be called the sword demon." Another girl also defended Kai.

"Sword demon" "Sword demon" "Sword demon" the crowd started shouting his new nickname with more passion.

'The title sword demon is pretty accurate,' thought Kai. His sword moves are ruthless and only aimed at taking lives, so it is more correct to call him a sword demon. He also did not mind the title that others gave him. He found a less crowded place and sat in it with his eyes closed.

"His ruthless personality is hard to control," Yang Wudi said to the elder.

"Yeah, but don't worry about that holy son. His father worked as an inner sect deacon in the sect for a long time, and his loyalty to the sect should be very high. We did not mistreat his family or him, so he won't hold a grudge against him." The elder calmly told him about the situation of Kai.

He found everything about Kai in a short period.

"Then I don't need to worry about him anymore. If he does not want to work for me, we can cooperate with him for mutual benefit. His talent in swords is very high, and I'm not even sure about defeating him." Yang Wudi told the truth to the elder.

"Holy son, are you saying the truth." The elder asked in confusion, as he knew the real talent of Yang Wudi.

"Yeah, I won't be able to defeat him without activating my physique." Yang Wudi said it with a smile.

"Hmm, how is the holy son unable to defeat a commoner, but it seems I forgot about the existence of a variant physique?" the elder said in a proud tone. He is indirectly praising Yang Wudi by talking about his extremely rare physique.

'This guy is very dangerous,' thought Anna. She shuddered in fear after seeing the sword intent to sever all the disciples like a piece of butter without any resistance. She planned to use Kai without knowing anything about his strength, but now she realizes that the chances of success are very small.

'No, I need to reach the top and revive my family' thought Anna. After avenging her family, she wanted to become an emperor to revive her family using her strength. She did not know whether the emperor realm was enough to bring the dead back, but she decided to embark on this path full of hardships.

The match continued after that, but it was not interesting as the top talents of the sect had already completed the match. So the crowd was silent the whole time, and it soon concluded. A hundred disciples from each division are selected.

"Congratulations on being selected for the expedition into the secret realm. You need to be proud of this achievement because you came above all of your peers; you are the best of this generation in the sect now." The grand elder first congratulated all the winners of the battle royale and continued.

"Now that you have all selected, it is time for the distribution of additional resources. It is distributed as a form of reward in the upcoming battles. It will be a duel between the top 100 disciples; valuable things are only available to the top 3.

The battle will start tomorrow." The grand elder said so, and he left the place.

Kai also started walking towards his room, and on the way, he saw James.

"Senior brother James, what are you doing here alone ?" Kai asked as he pointed to James standing alone near his room.

"Brother Kai, it's just that I want to ask something from you. No, forget about it." Replied James in an awkward tone and started walking away.
